SerVermont - Northwest Regional Planning Commission
 
 
 
The Northwest Regional Planning Commission (NRPC) is one of eleven commissions serving Vermont municipalities. NRPC serves the 23 municipalities of Franklin and Grand Isle Counties in northwestern Vermont. The mission of NRPC is: to conduct regional planning programs; to assist local municipalities, through education, technical assistance, grants and funding; and to aid municipalities in their planning efforts as authorized by Vermont planning laws; to serve as a center of information and as a resource to support the region and its municipalities’ interests, growth patterns and common goals; to provide a forum for the discussion of issues which are regional in nature and/or unique to our area of the state, and to serve as a mediator to resolve conflict as appropriate. NRPC alleviates poverty through both regional planning efforts and assistance to local municipalities that address housing, economic development, and community health issues.
